AT recent meeting held in Glasgow,
the following resolution was proposed
and seconded by Scotchmen: ssThis
meeting of Glasgow citizens points out
to the Government that in attempting
to rule Ireland contrary to the wishes
of the majority of the Irish people as
expressed by their representatives in
Parliament, it ceases to be a constitu-
tional and becomes a tyrannical Gov
eminent, and that should it attempt to
exercise policy of violence under such
conditions, it is quite certain that the
Irish people will act upon the principle
and practice of the British people and
remember that resistance to tyrants is
a duty to God" This has the right
ring about it, and will be acted upon
it the extreme emergency ever arises.

CUES that it is not probable Salisbury
and his bloodthirsty lieutenants will
accomplish what Strongbow and Crom-
we'll, William of Orange and Castle

The vice of English rule and the mis-
cry it has wrought in Ireland has been
cumulative. Futile rebellions have
suppurated from the irritation of
cruelty, and more futile attempts to re-
lieve misery by manufacturing enter
prise have been made by the ill-starred
Irish. The rebellions haye been sup
pressed by English troops, and the en-
terprises strangled by English trade
laws. The Inter-O Oceans figures show

the same space OF time throughout the

CARDINAL GIBBONS pronunciamen-
tos upon the labor questions haye won
for him the warm encomiums of the
English Catholic press. The Tablet, in
a remarkable article upon the relations
of the Church to the rising democracy,
says: "The Church, as the traditional
friend of labor and of the people, is pre-
pared for her task to shield democracy,
now beset by dangers. The new demo-
cratic power needs only to be Christian
lied, baptized, instructed, and it's intel
lect fully Informed, when it's cause will
be won. AS the Church Christianized
the old autocratic forms of power, so
now she must do the same for the demo.
cratic form of government.

A GIFT FOB MRS. DAvITT.

The presentation to Mrs. Michael
Davitt of a cottage within a few miles
of Dublin by intimate friends of her
husband was a fitting recognition of
the services rendered to his country by
the one-armed patriot. The cottage,
we are told, was furnished by the gen.
tlemen having the matter in charge from
roof to cellar, and they appropriately
placed in Mrs. Davitt's boudoir an
American piano. Mrs. Davitt modestly
and with graceful ease responded to the
presentation address. She wore an
Irish poplin dress trimmed with Irish
lace, and is said to have looked charm
ing and happy. In the course of her
very heartfelt remarks, she observed:
ST wish I were gifted with the power
of expressing in words all which my
heart is throb bling to utter at this mo.

ment. Valuable as is the unique and
splendid present which you give me, it
does not call for the same extent OF
graft ude as does the silent manner IN
which the testimonial itself has been
prepared or the true spirit OF hospitality
in which it has been presented. In
this respect your too generous gift is in
keeping with the acts of warm, gener-
Gus welcome / have experienced at the
hands of the people of Ireland since my
arrival in the land which have longed
to make my home from the time first
learned to love it as the birthplace OF
my parents.
~ know right we'll that in presenting
me with this lovely cottage home, which
you have furnished with every luxury
and embellished with such admirable
taste, you had as your aim the future
comfort of my dear husband. Your
motives in thus considering his future
welfare are in keeping with my highest
ambition. which is to make that future,
as far as possibly can, a contrast with
the trials and sufferings which have
surrounded his life in the past"
At the suggestion of Mrs. Davltt, the
cottage will hereafter be known as
Gland League Cottage" 1t will be
the sincere wish and hope of Mr.. and
Mrs. Davitt's many friends in America
that they may live long to enjoy the gift
thus munifcently bestowed upon the
LADY, who has linked her future with
one of Ireland s most patriotic sons.

We heartily endorse the sentiments

time would suggest the formation of a
fund in this city to which Irishmen and
Irish Americans can contribute what
ever amount they feel so inclined.
Trustees should be selected, who would
control the fund. Perhaps as good a
plan as any would be to appoint COM

the Irish residents of Minneapolis and

COZ. KING-HARMAN's RECORD.

The record of Col. King Hartman. the
military gentleman who received the
appointment of under secretary for Ire
land, over the head of that blatant
Orange Tory, Saunderson, is being crltl-
cized severely, and apparently not with
out cause. He was born in the County
Roscommon, and was at one time
closely affiliated with the Home Rule
leaders. Mr.. Sexton, in speech In the
British House of Commons the other
night, drew attention to the fact that
the new under secretary and Sheridan,
whose name has come up so often dur
ing the past week, once canvassed in the
same constituency together, and that
Patrick Egan, the treasurer of the old
Land League, was at one time the most
intimate friend OF the Colonel. They
were fellow-members of the council OF
Home Rule League. and not only that,
but Mr.. Egan wrote for the Colonel his
political address to the league. In time
he came to believe that it would be to
his advantage to abandon the leagues
aud from purely selfish motives he
turned his coat. With he changed his
''way of thinking he became tyrant
of the most virulent type. His notions
of hunting tyrants, possibly acquired
while commander of the Roscommon
militia, made him so unpopular he had
to seek an English constituency in Or
der to get into Parliament at the last
election. In the eyes of the Tories it
does not appear to BE- an objectionable
sin for Col. King-Harman to have been
connected with the Land League move
ment, but in the case Of certain mem
bers of the Irish Parliamentary party
it is horrible crime. Undoubtedly the
new under secretary will be an orna-
ment to the Dublin Castle.

FATHER KELLER IN PRISON.

Recently a special meeting of the Wis
iting committee of Kilmainham Prison
was held in the board room, the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor presiding. The
committee sanctioned the application
of Father Keller to celebrate Mass
daily in his cell. The arrangements
made as to visits are: That Father
Keller shall be allowed to receive one
visit daily, but at that visit three per
sons may be present at the time. The
time allowed for the visit is but half an
hour. The proposal of the chairman
that it should be extended to one hour
was not complied with. Four hours is
the time approved of by the committee
for daily exercise. The restrictions
placed on the admission of daily news
papers are that one Dublin daily paper,
one London daily paper, one local daily
paper, and one weekly paper are per-
mitted to be received. There are no re-
strlctions placed on books, magazines
or periodicals. Father Keller is, of
course, as 'sfirst.class misdemeanant,"
permitted to have his food supplied him
from outside the prison, and to haye
such furniture in the cell which is being
fitted up for him as he DESIRES All
these arrangements are made subject to
the approval of the prison board. An
application of Father Keller to have
DR.. Kenny, M. p, appointed his medi-
cal adviser was refused, as they felt
they could not slpersede the prison doc
tor, but an application may still be
made to the prison board in reference
to the matter.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

carried flag side by side with the Stars
and Stripes. CHEERS That flag was not a
menace to the flag of the Union.
C'Good. Good.'0 It was not carried
as threat to American institutions.
(Cheers.) Eyer since the American ma
ton unfurled it's flag, the sunburst has
not only been by it's side in friendship; ;
but in friendship they have been en-
twined about the same flagstaff, and
the presence of the two always signified
union, strength, and the pledge of aid
even unto death from those who carried
the green banner. (Great cheering.)
Those who carried the green flag did so
moved by that spirit of reverence and
affection for their birthplace which all
true men feel. (Cheers.) Those who
have no such feeling for the land of
their birth have but little sincerity in
their professions of loyalty to their
adopted land. Great cheering.) IL was
one thing to carry the flag of an ally, a
flag which reminded men of soil and
scenes which were sacred to them

to carry a flag representing hatred of
American institutions-(a voice: 'That
is the difference, '')-which typifed hos
tility to law and order, to security, to
peace, to the laws which were framed
by free people, and which could be
amended or repealed by the will OF that
free people peacefully expressed at the
polls under a Republican election law,
which secured the honest counting Of
every vote, and made the 1aborer and
the millionaire equal. prolonged
